thousand step ladders each month,

thousand step ladders each month,
and have been doing this for more
than a year. A step ladder is a
little thing, but these men are
making money out of them.
About fifteen years ago, in one
of the big planning mills of Chica-
go, a strip of board catching, in
some unaccountable manner, on
a buzz saw, was hurled with VIC
lence against the leg of one Of the
workmen, breaking it and badly
mangling the flesh. The injury
resulted in incapacitating the man
for performing the labor required
of him in the mill, and he was COM
PEELED to seek other means of live
lihood. A man of fine mechanical
attainments, his endeavors very
naturally sought outlet in that
direction, SO he built, after his own
ideas, a scroll or fret saw, foot
power, and rugged up seat on it,
as he was unable to stand for anv
length of time, and began saving
out and putting together articles
for household ornament and ulil-
ity. He regarded this as simply a
temporary means of making a
living. After time he added TO
his scroll saw a light boring at
tachment and then a little turn
ing lathe. Then he bought a
cheap set of carver's tools. You
see he was always looking ont to
save labor and to combine origi-
nality in the articles he turned
out. Time ran along, and almost
before he knew it he was getting
more orders than he could, alone,
fill, so he hired q man to dress and
prepare his materials, lay out the
patterns, and put the articles to-
gether. Still his orders increased,
and he hired~another and still an
other man. To-day he has thirty
men in his employment, and he
does no physical labor himself.
Making money? Yes, right along,
but it was a very little thing that
gave him his start.
Now, the point wish to make
is this: Capital, in large amounts.
is not necessary in the founding oI
industrial enterprises. A good
deal of pluck and energy, and un.
conquerable perseverance, are bet
ter than money, because, having
these, money becomes the result,
not the means, Of success. Money
is valuable, not as the means by
which an end may be accom-
plished, but rather because it is
the result of an accomplished end.
1t has power, immense power, but
without energy behind it, it is
powefless. Perseverance and en-
ergy can make money, but money
cannot make perseverance and
energy. What i would like to
see is more small industrial estab-
lishments. / would rather see a
dozen shops employing three men
each, than one shop employing
three dozen men. There is more
money in the three dozen, because
there is greater possibility for
their expansion and growth.
Don't wait for the establishment
of big enterprises with heavy cap
ital, but start little ones in a mod
est way, and then let them grow,
as the maiority of thano curalv will -

An Australian Shark Story.

An adventure with a shark occurred at
Black Point on Saturday, March 18th. On
that evening Mr.. Justice Boucaut was fish
ing in his dingey, but without much sport,
save in small sharks and dog sharks. To-
wards evening Mr.. Boucaut started for his
yacht, sitting in the stern sheets of his din
gey, with his yacht master (H. Harris),
rowing. One of the sharks which they
had hooked, about four or five feet long.
having got away by breaking the hook, the
Judge was relating TO his man that he
ought to have followed the advice given
him by Mr.. Justice Bundey several years
ago, never to fish in dingey at Black
Point without rifle or a bayonet, and was
relating or had just related what led to
that advice, namely, that he had seen Mr.
Justice Bundey's Gingey towed about by a
shark IN that particular spot, when Mr.,
Boucaut received a very severe blow in
the hollow of the back, which knocked
him of the seat over the after thwart of
the dingey on to the man who was rowing.
The paddles were unshipped from the row.
locks and the boat sent forward with a
sharp spin. Selling a naddle and turning
round, Mr.. Boucaut just saw large shark
disappear With heavy flap of his tail on
the surface OF the wa er. which is there
about only six or seven feet deep. Mr..
Harris says the creature was as long as the
diDgey, which is thirteen feet in length.
Whether the blow which the Judge re-
ceived came directly from the shark or in
directly through the stern of the dingey he
cannot say. Mr.. Boucaut's dingey is one
of the very best OF its size ever built. and
the Judge and Mr.. Harris are both conf
dent that if they had been in a small eight
foot six-inch dingey which they sometimes
use she must either have been capsized or
stove in. in which case the shark would
1drerfise-
